Meals with Mandela and Models

One day in 1998 he decided to walk away. “I was in Nelson Mandela’s house in South Africa,” he recalled over lunch. (In spite of his counsel, I was inhaling a bowl of hot and sour soup. He took one slurp and declared it “way too spicy.”) “Naomi Campbell was there, Kate Moss, Amber Valletta, Christy Turlington: the whole crew. It wasn’t like a light bulb moment. It was more of, ‘Ah, this is really good, and it’s not going to get better than this.’ I thought, ‘Fashion will kick you out at some point, anyway. This is a good time to go off and find my path.’ ”
